Dear Programmers,
Thank you for your advice regarding giving the console a current address in the
code for it to access the html file.
The console seems to accept the code to that extent, but when I input the two
lines of code intended to access the location of a required word, the console
rejects it re :
AttributeError:'NoneType' object has no attribute 'li'
However the document 'EcologicalPyramid.html' does contain the words 'li' and
'ul', in its text. I am not sure as to how the input is arranged to output
'plants' which is also in the documents text, but that is the word the code is
meant to elicit.
I enclose the pertinent code as input and output from the console, and the html
code for the document 'EcologicalPyramid.html'
Thank you in advance for your help.
